Okay, okay, because I am legally required to warn you...
Also incoming?
I think he might be right.
I don’t know if the parallels between Kirk Ferentz and Gary Patterson are completely inline, but they aren’t that far off, either. As college football’s two longest tenured coaches, they are apt to be compared. The Hawkeyes have played in 17 bowls since Ferentz took over, winning nine. The Horned Frogs? 11-6 in 17 chances. TCU has finished as a ranked team 11 times, Iowa nine.
The Frogs’ best seasons came as they tore through the group of five and when they had a very special talent at QB, while Iowa has soared when the Big Ten has been weak and in years they could avoid a good Ohio State team.
